Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn KenyonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Fantasy Lover is the 1st book in The Entire Dark-Hunterverse Series and whilst it was not one of my favorites, I did enjoy reading it.
One of the things I liked about it was the main character, Julian –son of a legendary Spartan general becoming commander of the Macedonian army.
Betrayed and angering the Greek gods, he was cursed for all eternity, trapped inside a book and released once a month to be used as a sex slave by whoever opened the said book.
Now, that doesn’t sound too bad!!!! To be used as a sex toy and you don’t even get to choose if you want to or not!!!! Hell, that does not sound good to me!!!! The poor guy is about to give up when…something or someone good comes along into his life!!!!
That someone is sex therapist, Grace Alexander,
who has gone off men forever!!!!!
After giving men a miss for a while, she is given the most outlandish present ever by her best friends…who has been worrying about Grace’s “manless” situation!!!! A Greek sex slave…who is known to be good at what he does…wink wink!!!!! How could any sane woman refuse such a present!!!!!!
So, is Grace the one who will break Julian’s curse?
Will she accept the world he lives?
I enjoyed the flashbacks to Julian’s history in ancient Greece and Rome.
This being the first book, there’s very little world building – some interesting secondary characters that will have their own books in the future.
There were some funny moments …
“Um, Dr. Alexander, there’s a couple out here who say they’re related to you. They…um…they’re biker people. (Nurse)I’m happy that I read this book….how the Dark Hunters world begins!!!!!
Hey, Julian. Tell Attila the Hun here that we’re okay so we can come and ooh and aah over the babies. (Eros)”
“You have the optimism of a child. (Julian)
Peter Pan all the way. (Grace)”
“Cupid, you worthless bastard, I summon you to human form! (Julian)
Gee, I can't imagine why he wouldn't respond to that. (Grace)”
